Hello Again,

I wrote about Co-op's Irresistible Hand Finished Carrot Cake yesterday and I really wanted to tell you about Co-op’s Carrot Cake 60g slice. I’ve desperately tried to search for a picture of the cake, but I can only find the tinniest thumbnail and I didn’t think to take a picture myself. I love a carrot cake and either way, I am going to tell you what I make of their slice..

Co-op Carrot Cake 60g

Carrot cake topped with cream cheese and chopped walnuts.

These carrot cake slices don’t look like much, but I can assure you they are packed full of spice and flavour. The cake is so moist and more so than their main carrot cake cake. You wouldn’t want it any more moist though or this cake will essentially be wet and no one wants a wet cake. I really loves the taste of the nutmeg and there was a good amount of cream cheese frosting on top. When I looked at the cake, I thought there should have been a bit more frosting, but in actual fact there was enough because of the moistness of the cake. I don’t know if the frosting or the cake is the same as their main carrot cake, but to me it tasted different. I thought there was more spice and more of a sourness flavour with the cream cheese frosting. I wish they did a big slice of carrot cake rather than their round carrot cake. Very nice indeed.

The only thing I didn’t like about the carrot cake was the cost. From memory the slice was £1.20 and the round cake £2.50, so there is a big difference in value for money with a 60g cake and a cake that has 6 servings of approx 62g. For that cost, I’d rather have the main cake, but if the slices are ever reduced because of their date, then I would go for the 60g cake. Both are very delicious and I would recommend both of them for sure.
